Chapter 36:

Every time I took a step inside, their scrutiny increased to me, until I stood at the bottom of the steps, and before I could speak, someone welcomed me in.

"Niangniang, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time," the visitor said to me respectfully, I glanced inside, the dim candlelight illuminated the inside very dimly, and I could only vaguely recognize the outline,

Stepping in, the smoky hall was empty and silent, and then walked inside, the bright yellow gauze curtains were layered on top of each other, and a figure was hidden in it,

"Ah Yuan, come here," the low call made me emotional, I slowly lifted the curtain, and saw Xiao Ziling sitting on the head of the bed with a smile, holding a book in his hand, waving to me,

"Your Majesty," I bowed to him slightly, and stood still without moving.

Xiao Ziling saw that I didn't want to go over, and he didn't say anything, he lifted the quilt and walked off the bed, slowly paced in front of me with a vague pace, and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and then gently put it down,

"I forgot, you don't like incense," he sighed, turning his gaze to the incense burner that was rising from the smoke.

"I don't know what happened when the emperor called his concubines over," I also moved my eyes to the incense burner, with an expressionless face,

"I..." Xiao Ziling paused, and said unconcernedly: "Shen Yu has already told me,"

I paused, then hooked the corners of my mouth and said: "I didn't intend to hide this from you, but now that you know, it's better," adjusted my mood, and I continued: "If the emperor came to ask about this matter, the concubine has already finished answering, and the concubine has retired,"

After saying that, I was about to walk out again, but after only a few steps, I heard a grunt behind me, I stopped, and finally turned around and walked back,

"I knew you wouldn't leave me alone," blood slowly trickled down the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care at all, instead took the opportunity to wrap his arm around my body and gently wrap his arms around my waist,

"I'll help you call the imperial doctor," I didn't refuse, let him hold it, this feeling suddenly reminded me of the past, I remember when I was injured in the past, every time I was coerced and lured by him, or even coaxed and deceived, in order to drink the bitter medicine, at that time he would also hug me like this, softly say something delicious,

I didn't get an answer, I looked down, the person in my arms had closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually stabilized, I knelt on the ground and maintained this posture, until Gonggong Li came in, and then I worked with him to move Xiao Ziling to the bed,

"Niangniang, although the emperor has woken up, his body is still very weak, and the imperial doctor has also instructed that you must take medicine on time, you see," I understood, and nodded to him gently,

The shadow of the veil floated, and only the faint burning of the incense burner could be heard in the hall, and since I was in a coma, but his hand was still held very tightly, I turned my eyes and saw a bright thing in the corner of his sleeve, which pierced my eyes,

I slowly lifted his sleeve, and sure enough, I found what I was looking for in the hidden pocket, and the bracelet was as intact as I had seen it except for a clear crack in the crystal part.

I secretly took it in my hand, and then picked up the book he had just flipped through, and read the traditional Chinese characters on it.

All these years of life here have allowed me to adapt to these fonts very well, the more I look at it, the more fascinated I become, just as I continue to look down, Gonggong Li has already walked in with the decoction of the medicine,

I took the medicinal juice, turned my head to look at Xiao Ziling, who was still asleep, and called him lightly twice, after a long time, I saw the star's eyes move slightly, and when he opened his eyes, there was obviously a trace of strangeness in his eyes,

"Who are you," he suddenly got up from the bed, and shook my hand away so hard that I was defenseless,

"Someone," a shout beckoned Gonggong Li outside the door, Xiao Ziling looked at me with a strange face, and asked Gonggong Li loudly: "Who is she?"

Gonggong Li was also full of confusion, and he said a little unnaturally: "Your Majesty, she is your concubine,"

"Concubine, when have I ever accepted such an ugly concubine," he shouted, and pushed me harder, "What a bold woman, you still don't kneel down when you see me,"

I looked at him for a while, and then slowly got up and knelt down: "Since the emperor is awake, the concubine has retired," After speaking, without waiting for him to answer, he walked out directly,

The concubines outside the door have dispersed for some time, I held on to the door frame, and stood a little unsteadily under my feet for a while, I don't know if Xiao Ziling really lost his memory or pretended, and I didn't believe that he would forget all his memories just by sleeping, but that's fine, at least I don't have to face his affection and be overwhelmed, at least, we don't have to endure the pain brought by each other,

I didn't go to the Huangyi Palace, but went directly back to the Jinchen Palace, and when I stepped into the palace, I already saw Shen Yu standing there,

Looking at the irrepressible smile on his face, I knew that he had finally succeeded,

Now that the bracelet is in hand, as long as I let Li'er come back to me, I can leave here,

"What are you thinking," Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Shen Yu couldn't help but ask,

I shook my head, just telling him that Xiao Ziling didn't remember everything between me and him, and said that he would leave here soon, Shen Yu heard this, showing an unbelievable look, his eyes widened, and his voice raised a lot: "You have to go,"

It turned out that the focus of his concern was not Xiao Ziling's amnesia, but my departure, I nodded and said, "I came here just to get back what belongs to me, and now I am about to get everything, what if I don't leave,"

"You are gone, what should the emperor do?"

I walked around his body and took a few steps: "My fate with him was broken the moment I fell off the cliff, and even if I come back now, it is impossible to be with him again,"

"Why," Shen Yu still asked me reluctantly,

"No why," I didn't tell him about the changes in my body, I didn't want him to worry about one reason, and another one was that I promised Zhang Qian to help him keep it a secret.

"Shen Yu, you know, I'm not from the same world as you, I'll leave sooner or later, just like Sisi," When I said Sisi, I could clearly see the look in his eyes darkening,

"You... Will you blame me?"

"It's not your fault, Shen Yu, I just want to ask you to help me with one thing now," I shook my head and replied, "I want you to help me take Li'er out of the palace,"

Shen Yu didn't ask me why he did this, looking at his expression, it seemed that he already knew that I already knew the relationship between Li'er and himself, and also, in this palace, there are so many eyeliners, and it is not difficult to know what news is.

"I don't have the right to do this, let alone that Li'er won't agree," Shen Yu's face was embarrassed, he seemed to know something,

Even if he doesn't say it, I can guess it, after all, the queen has raised her for so many years, and now a mother has appeared out of thin air, naturally she can't adapt, no matter whether Lian'er can adapt or not, I will take her away,

Later, I didn't listen to Shen Yu's advice again, but said that I came directly from the Jinchen Hall to the Huangyi Palace, when I came to the Huangyi Palace, the difference from before was that this time it was no longer directly in, but had to wait for someone to report.

Looking at the eyes of the palace people, I knew that the queen probably knew my identity, and sure enough, when I saw the queen's murderous eyes, my heart was even more certain,

"Sister, you look at my sister like this, but it makes my sister feel a little frightened," I smiled, ignored her gaze, sat down in front of her very casually, and poured myself a cup of tea,

"Slut," she scolded, I frowned, and sneered, "What did my sister say, anyway, this face is also your sister's,"

"Slut, you still dare to appear in front of me, come on, drag this slut out and behead him," the queen shouted at me, and as she spoke, she also impulsively put her hand on my neck and pinched it hard,

"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you," she grabbed my neck frantically, but I still looked at her indifferently, laughing as I watched,

"Queen Mother, you are really naïve, kill me, do you think you can still live," I let her scream at me, and said to her in a lower voice: "Even if Xiao Ziling can let you go, and you want to kill me, I'm afraid that this wish will not come true," After speaking, I pushed her away, straightened her clothes, looked around the hall, and said sharply: "Where did you hide my daughter?"

"Li'er," the queen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Chu Xinyuan, do you think you won, let me tell you, Li'er's mother will always have me alone, hahahaha,"

I ignored her, but turned over the inside and outside of the Phoenix Yi Palace, but I didn't find half of the figure of Li'er at all.

"Don't look for it, she's not here, and I'm not going to tell you where she's gone, hahahaha," I slapped her in anger and asked, "What qualifications do you have to do that,"

"Just because I'm the queen, Chu Xinyuan, you remember, I will always be Li'er's biological mother, forever," This was the last sentence I heard when I stepped out of the Phoenix Yi Palace, this sentence echoed in my ears like a spell all the time, and the hysterical voice haunted me, making me unable to get out,

I think since the queen dares to say this, it means that she must have received Xiao Ziling's tacit approval, maybe as she said, Li'er has already left the palace, but where will she be sent?

I think the only one who can help me now is the person who makes me hate very much, thinking about it, I walked in the direction of Jinchen Palace,

When I returned to the Jinchen Hall again, Han Xiao was already waiting there, looking at her relaxed face, I knew that she must have learned the news, and without saying a word, I threw the bracelet directly to her,
